3. Shareaza

1. uTorrent or BitTorrent

This is arguably the lightest, fastest and safest P2P file sharing program that exists out here on the internet. Both applications are owned by the same company and their interfaces are also practically identical. Users of these applications claim that it would be difficult for any other application to compete with these two big guns.
